Set your home apart from the rest.

Upgrade your kitchen with a new back splash...

Kitchen back splashes are a great way to add a touch of color and/or texture with a great back splash.

New materials in the tile industry have made your choices endless, and with a small space to work with, they don't break the bank on the cost.

This silvery sage is a great compliment to the neutral counter top.

If you are worried about color, choose a shape that is unique and yet still a neutral white.

This stone color goes with just about anything and is a great neutral choice

 if you are planning to sell your home.



Granite has been a consistent choice for many years and has proven to be durable and liked by many.

Framing a large tile or design above the range adds a nice custom touch to any kitchen.

If you like fresh and clean, the above tile might be for you!

Home Office Inspiration

Inspiring Home Office Spaces....

Modern technology allows us all the opportunity to "work remotely" when needed, which works out great when you have sick kids, want to work from your vacation home, or simply operate from a home office. 

We have found some great and inspiring photos to share with you...

Built in cabinetry allows for function and organization.  We love the colors, they are clean simple.

Not all office spaces require a dedicated room.  A desk like the one above will fit in a kitchen nook, great room, den or even a master bedroom.

A built in wall on one side of the room and a Murphy Bed on the other side is a great compromise when you need a guest room and an office.

Why not have a little fun?

Traditional wood will never go out of style. 

Ahhh!  This is our idea of the PERFECT office space!

**All of the above photos were found via Pinterest, a great spot to search for and share ideas!

What about you?  Do you have a home office?  What would you change about it?

New California Law Requires Carbon Monoxide Detectors

Here is information you will want to know…

California Law on Carbon Monoxide Detector Requirements

By Christine Bryant, eHow Contributor

updated: June 28, 2010

The state of California requires carbon monoxide detectors in all homes.

In May 2010, the state of California enacted a law requiring home owners to install carbon monoxide detectors in their homes. According to the California Air Resources Board, 30 to 40 people die each year from carbon monoxide poisoning. The senate bill, also known as the Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Prevention Act, states that those deaths were avoidable. According to the bill, the California law will help prevent further deaths and increase awareness.

Timeline

2.     Although the bill was signed into law in 2010, California residents must have carbon monoxide detectors in their homes as of July 1, 2011. This timeline applies only to single-family homes that have appliances that burn fossil fuels or homes that have attached garages or fireplaces. For all other types of housing, such as apartments and hotels, detectors should be in place as of January 1, 2013. Types of fossil fuels include wood, gas and oil.

Detector

3.     According to the senate bill, the detector must sound an audible warning once carbon monoxide is detected. It also must be powered by a battery, or if it is plugged in, have a battery for a backup. The detector also must be certified by national testing labs, such as the Underwriters Laboratories. The packaging on the carbon monoxide detector will state this. If the CO detector is also a smoke detector, it must still meet the above standards and must sound an alarm that is different than the smoke alarm. Carbon monoxide detectors typically can be purchased for about $20 and up.

Exemptions

4.     Although the law targets units that are occupied by humans, the law exempts state and local government property, as well as property owned by the University of California Regents. The law requires local jurisdictions to comply; however, they may amend their current ordinances to fall more in line with the law.

Fines

5.     California law states that anyone who does not comply with the law may face a $200 fine. However, residents will receive a notice of 30 days to correct any violations before they will be fined.
